Ellipsis Labs Poker Night: Talk + Tournament
Ellipsis Labs is coming to Waterloo. Brian Bishop and Nick Xitco are flying in to talk about what they're building, then we're running a poker tournament with the UW Poker Club.
Elipsis Labs is a New York team of elite engineers and former high-frequency traders rebuilding core financial markets on public blockchains so they can match Wall Street speed and efficiency while staying fully transparent and open.
Their flagship Phoenix exchange on Solana uses a fully on-chain order book that has processed over $75 billion in volume without token incentives, proving decentralized markets can deliver institutional-grade performance.
They're also hiring for 2027 (new grad and intern software roles), so bring questions.
